Chapter 12: A New Class
At this moment, Wang Youzhen's family has reached a critical moment, and if they don't want to come up with a solution, their family will soon be ruined.
Fortunately, Wang Youzhen will make a few more filings no matter what he does, and it is precisely because of this caution that Wang Youzhen does not seem so anxious.
The key point of the plan is that the second uncle Wang Yanren cannot let Sun Baohu arrest him.
The matter of buying materials in Yu'er Town was all handled by the second uncle Wang Yanren, so in Sun Baohu's opinion, the person who took a hundred taels of silver was the second uncle Wang Yanren.
If you want to obtain that kind of immortal means, the easiest way is to directly arrest the second uncle, Wang Yanren.
In this way, it avoids fighting with the salt ladies of Yanchi Village, which can be said to save effort and silver.
The lives of these salt lads are not valuable, but the lives of those who are raised by Sun Baohu's family are worth much.
Once a family member dies, in order to appease the family members, at least fifty taels of silver must be given.
If Sun Baohu dares to come to Yanchi Village to arrest people, it will be a big deal to fight to break the net, and at least Sun Baohu can make Sun Baohu die more than a dozen famous people.
That's a loss of at least five hundred taels of silver.
In addition, so many salts suddenly died in this county, and the yamen will definitely take the opportunity to make a profit.
Although Wang Youzhen doesn't know how much filial piety this silver has, it will definitely not be less than the family's pension.
With Sun Baohu's love of money as his life, the loss of such a large amount of silver will become a great concern for Sun Baohu.
Wang Youzhen's plan was to take advantage of this concern and delay Sun Baohu's arrest for a month.
As long as it can be delayed for a month, Wang Youzhen will have the possibility of overthrowing Sun Baohu.
Wang Youzhen made a decision in his heart, so he no longer hesitated, and instructed: "Second uncle, this time I will hide in the ancestral hall, and there is no need to go to the fish shop in Yu'er Town." ”
Wang Yanren knows the stakes better than anyone else, but fortunately, the last batch of cotton has been shipped, and it will not matter if he doesn't go to Yu'er Town in the future.
Wang Yanren immediately threw down the mule cart and cotton, hurried to the house, and went back to get a Qijia knife he had bought back then.
Wang Youzhen called a few younger brothers to unload the cotton on the mule cart, ran to the ancestral hall himself, and found his grandfather.
Old man Wang was changing parts for a 100-spindle spinning machine, and saw his grandson hurriedly walking in: "What's the matter, you are in such a hurry." ”
Wang Youzhen only said one sentence: "Grandpa, the matter of silver has been revealed." ”
Old Man Wang immediately stood up, although he was very reluctant to give up those immortal spinning machines, he still said very decisively: "Burn these hundred spindle spinning machines immediately, and we will leave Yanchi Village tonight." ”
As the saying goes, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and once you leave here, it is equivalent to abandoning the ancestral grave.
Wang Youzhen knew how difficult it was for his grandfather to make this decision, as long as he left Yanchi Village, his grandfather would hang himself because of the ancestral grave to make amends to his ancestors.
Wang Youzhen finally had a grandfather who loved him, where could he let his grandfather commit suicide because of himself, and said calmly: "Grandpa, go and invite the patriarchs of other ancestral halls in Yanchi Village." ”
Old Man Wang didn't know what his grandson's plan was, but when he saw his grandson's calm face, he immediately walked outside the ancestral hall: "Okay." ”
During this period of time, Wang Youzhen has not only been collecting all kinds of news about Sun Baohu, but also learning about various situations in Yanchi Village.
The first is to prepare for the plan, and the second is to maximize the use of the limited resources around you.
It really made Wang Youzhen find a point of use.
There are five or six hundred people in Yanchi Village, including the salt, the elderly, children, women, and so on.
Except for the small ancestral hall of the Wang family, which moved from outside, the others are all ancestral halls that have been passed down here for more than ten lifetimes, and each ancestral hall has hundreds of people.
The other five or six ancestral patriarchs killed the Eight Banners Tartars at the border with their grandfather back then, and they were robes of life and death.
With this level of relationship, you can turn a crisis into a safe one and turn a bad thing into a good thing.
After a stick of incense.
The remaining ancestral hall patriarchs of Yanchi Village came to the Wang family ancestral hall one after another.
Looking at the brand-new Wang family ancestral hall, there was a little more piety in his eyes.
On the way here, the old man Wang had already made it clear about the iron grinding plate, and said that it was his grandson who took a hundred taels of silver by means of heaven.
Wang Zhen was originally one of the few children in the village who had ever read a book, and out of awe of the scholars, the salters of Yanchi Village valued him very much.
Old man Wang said that the silver was taken by the eldest son and grandson, and the patriarchs of the ancestral hall not only did not have the slightest suspicion, but also felt that it was very reasonable.
The entire Yanchi Village has this ability for the eldest son and grandson of the Wang family, and if it is replaced by others, it will definitely not be able to take away a hundred taels of silver.
Wang Youzhen heard the movement at the door of the canteen, walked out, and saluted several ancestral hall patriarchs.
didn't speak, and walked into the backyard of the ancestral hall with the ancestral patriarchs of Yanchi Village.
Regarding the revelation of the matter, since Wang Youzhen had already made a plan, he naturally expected it a long time ago.
I thought that with the help of fanfare to repair the ancestral hall, I would cover up the second uncle's private purchase of a large amount of cotton, but the result was naturally unsatisfactory.
If it is not satisfactory, it will be unsatisfactory, but it will give Wang Youzhen a chance, a chance to turn the entire Yanchi Village into a vested interest in the industrial revolution.
Revolution is the violent act of one class overthrowing another.
If Wang Youzhen wanted to complete the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty, he had to create a new class with his own hands and overthrow the bureaucratic gentry class that controlled the Ming Dynasty.
Industrial class.
